The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Good morning folks. domestic duties for me today, bed needs changing, house needs cleaning, I'll be taking my Good Lady down the hairdressers, I wonder if I'll get a mince pie with my coffee? And I'll need to pick our son up from the station.

Blimey, that was a wild and woolly night.
Feel like we slept in a tumble dryer.
It was blowing around 50 mph until the early hours, with lashing rain and high gusts.
Still, all is well.
Off out exploring today.

Morning all, dog has been walked, or should I say swam. The fields are flooded and the brook is at the point of overflowing. Nice and sunny at the moment though.
A few last bits to get from the grocers, which means I can get a bike ride in as well. Then floor washing and domestics this afternoon and cooking sausage rolls and mince pies this evening.

Allowing the washing that extra sliver of time on the line might make all the difference ... or not!

Morning all. Just got back from Aldi. Really didnt want to as I am still feeling rotten but there are a few things we needed.
I was in bed early so got up early, had a coffee and crawled into the shower. Struggled to get dry as I was sweating so much. Eventually got dressed and 10 minutes later had to get changed again as I had sweated so much.
Anyway, the shopping is all done now thank goodness.

I nearly bagged a jogger on my way to Aldi. I was turning left and she was waiting to cross what would be my right to left.
She looked to her right and (I assume) a driver coming the other way flagged her to go......so she did......right in front of me.
Fortunately I had clocked her and slammed on. I just gave her a smile and a wave and she was on her way but I am sure she had an extra wet patch

I am also just back from Aldi , all the shopping done , they even had an organic turkey in a sack ! which her indoors requested, Incidentally, Aldi's organic red wine will NOT GIVE A HANGOVER no matter if you drink a lot of it
